Pleasant
Pros:

Lovely staff members
Quality rooms and room service
Menu needs more diversity
Build a deck over the coral to access the beach as its painfull to walk over the coral,
But our overall stay was pleasant

We will recommend it to our friends. We loved it!
Pros:

We absolutely loved our stay, splendid from start to finish! From the moment we arrived, everything felt welcoming and well put together. The room was comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully arranged, and we genuinely enjoyed the overall atmosphere. The service was warm and professional, and it was easy to relax and feel at home. Little details like the calm environment and the neat presentation made a big difference and added to the experience.
That said, there was one issue worth mentioning: the air conditioner in our room was leaking. It didn’t completely ruin the stay, but it was noticeable and could become inconvenient if not fixed. We’re sharing this mainly as feedback, because everything else was excellent, and we’d love to see the standard remain consistently high.

Exceptional customer service and overall fantastic experience
Pros:

I spent 4 days here after a tour through Tanzania and Zanzibar. I was blown away with the service from the staff! The hotel itself is definitely livable, but the experience is made from the attentiveness and friendly service from the staff. As soon as I was shown to my room I discovered that the airconditioning unit was leaking and within 10mins maintenance was in my room fixing the problem. Special mention to Mussa and Shengwe, who somehow could resolve all my issues and did so with exceptional competency and a friendly attitude - even though some of my requests were way beyond what a standard request could be from a guest! 10/10 recommend if you value human interaction and customer service :)

Fabulous experience
Pros:

Such a wonderful experience after such a horrible experience somewhere else on the island. The staff were absolutely amazing especially Mussa and Daniel who went above and beyond to help us.

The rooms were so very clean with toilets that actually flushed and the greatest shower head with HOT running water.

You should be very proud of your entire staff and hotel. They were fabulous.

Terrible
Pros:

Very unprofessional experience. We had a confirmed booking, only to be told later that the hotel decided to give our room to a higher bidder. Cancelling on confirmed guests for more money shows a complete lack of integrity and respect for customers. This caused unnecessary stress and inconvenience and is not how a reputable hotel should operate. I would not recommend booking here if you want reliability or professionalism.

Jewel in Zanzibar
Pros:

Stayed a night at the Golden Tulip Resort with my family & had a memorable experience regretted not staying more , the rooms are extra spacious , very clean with comfortable beds , we were received with smiles by all staff, Chef Suleiman is amazing from dinner to a well spread breakfast , bakery items exceptional , special thanks to Nahda & Martha at front desk & hats off to the Manager Mr Castro who is the spearhead in the amazing team . Not a down side but for a better tomorrow the hotel is bit run down (though beautifull as it is) & I'm told they are soon to up date the place , but this comment should not discourage your stay at this well located & spacious property .

Bien.
Pros:

Le personnel est très accueillant et très à l’écoute !
Les chambres sont assez grandes !
Le coin piscine est top !

Cons:

La localisation, c’est relativement éloigné de Stone Town.
La plage n’est pas accessible pour la nage car trop rocheuse.
Presque 100$ la nuit ça fait un peu cher même si honnêtement c’était un bon séjour.

Calmness by the Ocean
Pros:

We have had a lovely time. The staff were very polite and accommodating to our needs. Rooms very clean and spacious. Breakfast plenty of options to choose from. Located in a non busy area yet close to famous sites like Stone Town therefore great value for money. Nice outdoor views with the pool facing the ocean. Very quiet and great atmosphere.
